Usagi's POV

I was very impressed with Takara and her knowledge of what was wrong with my father that night, and later she revealed to me that she would either like to be an auror or a healer. I know she didn't do much, but she still has a long way to plan her future and learn theses things.

The school had now all returned from their Christmas holidays, and the Slytherin common room was buzzing with noise as they all talked about their holidays. Takara herself was very disappointed that they had all returned, having enjoyed the common room to herself. You'd have to be practically deaf to not be able to hear Caia bragging on about how she had such a great Christmas because 'someone' wasn't there. Takara is at boiling point and I'm just waiting to see how long she can restrain herself from physically hurting her. Poor Takara…she's got it bad.

Classes have been going for a few days, and I am scheduled to have my first anti-dementor lesson in a few minutes. So I left the common room alone that night, on my journey to the history of magic classroom where I had previously been told was were we would be doing our anti-dementor lessons. When I got there no one was there, except Professor Lupin who I found lighting the lamps of the history of magic classroom. To the centre of the room was a box, no doubt with what ever we would be training against dwelling inside it.

Back to normal POV

Professor Lupin looked up as Usagi walked into the room. He smiled kindly over to her as she took a seat, "Harry should be here soon I hope."

All Usagi did was return his smile and nod in response as she watched him lighting lamps. Slowly she lifted her hand up to scratch her nose when Professor Lupin suddenly grabbed it. "Is there something wrong, professor?" Usagi asked a little off hand.

"Where did you get that ring?" He demanded of Usagi.

"I uh, got it for Christmas…d'ya mind if I have my hand back now, please, Professor?" She asked innocently trying to pry her hand free of his grip but to no such success.

"Who gave it to you?" He asked, trying to become slightly calmer as he released her. "Do you even know who's this used to be? It was your mothers! Have you been in contact at all with Sirius Black? He's the only one who could have had it all these years… Do you know where he is right now?" he demanded as she shrugged.

Usagi quickly shook her head, "No, of course not. Why would you think I knew where he is? Just because I am his daughter, I should know where he is? I have never even met him, okay." She defended, praying she sounded truthful all the same.

Professor Lupin remained silent and looked Usagi square on in the eye, "I hope you're telling the truth, Miss Black. Your father has committed a serious crime and needs to be put behind bars where he will not hurt anyone. I'm assuming that you already know what he plans to do to Mr Potter? So that's why we must-Do you understand that?"

"I'm not a little kid, professor. I can handle the truth. Wouldn't want anyone getting hurt, would we?" She almost sneered at the DADA professor. Although, to Usagi, Professor Lupin didn't seem to be all that convinced when she said she knew nothing of what was happening. Luckily for Usagi, Harry walked in at just that moment, giving Lupin no chance to badger her further on the matter.

Usagi was relieved Harry had come. She had a feeling Lupin was beginning to become suspious of her, and she didn't want that to happen. If Lupin got suspious, who knows what he would do. She also hadn't expected her new ring to cause such a commotion between the two of them…It was rather curious as to how he knew about the ring belonging to her mother in the first place.

"What's that?" Harry questioned, bringing Usagi's attention to the box that sat on top of Professor Binns' desk.

"Another Boggart," Professor Lupin answered simply, "I've been combing the castle for one all week and was fortunate enough to find this one hiding in Mr. Flich's filing cabinet. It's about the closest thing we will get to a real dementor. The boggart shall turn into a dementor when it sees you both and we'll be able to practice on him."

"Ok." Both Harry and Usagi said at once.

"So then," Lupin took out his wand, and indicated that Usagi and Harry do so as well. "The defence I am going to try and teach you, is way beyond Ordinary wizarding level, very advanced magic. It is called the Patronus Charm."

"What dose it do?" Harry questioned

"The proper patronus acts as an anti-dementor guardian- a shield between you and the dementor. A patronus is built up on the things a dementor feeds upon. Hope, happiness and the desire to survive. It can not feel despair like we can so a dementor can't feed on it." Lupin paused, letting the new found information sink in, "But this all comes with a warning. The patronus charm is highly advanced magic- most qualified wizards have trouble producing a proper patronus."

"What does a patronus actually look like?" Usagi put in curiously

"A patronus is as unique as its owner- it all depends on the person conjuring it," Lupin answered.

Usagi nodded, "Righto, and how do you conjure it?"

"It's an incantation…Expecto Patronum. To conjure a patronus, you must be concentrating on one single happy thought. Okay, I'll give you a couple of minutes to think of a happy memory. Harry, if it's okay, you'll be first."

Usagi's POV

I closed my eyes and thought about what Professor Lupin had instructed me to do. It was such a simple task, yet so many memories to choose from. The problem was all my good memories had been in the other dimension and I'm not to sure they would have the same effect…but then again, why wouldn't they? I finally settled on the though when we had first defeated Queen Beryl. That had to count as a very happy thought; for it was the first time my friends and I had ever saved the world.

When I reopened them, Harry was standing at the front of the room. Lupin counted to three before realising the dementor and rushing over to the side of the room where he called me over so I wouldn't be in Harry's way.

Just like Lupin had said, when the boggart had burst out of its box, it had already taken on Harry's worst fear, a dementor. The effects this had on the room were the exact same of those of a real dementor. The torches Professor Lupin had been lighting when I first entered the room flickered out and I felt myself go cold. The affects of the real dementor were taking part in the boggart as it advanced on Harry and I fought to stay on my feet. But much to my annoyance the room went dark and my feet couldn't hold me up any longer. I never felt my body hit the floor, but more rather being placed on the floor gently by Professor Lupin.

"Usagi!" I had barley been unconious for three minute when Professor Lupin came to reawaken me. The lights were back on once again, the boggart gone and Harry at my shoulder nibbling on a piece of chocolate. Professor Lupin handed me one too and I took it without hesitation.

"If you two want to stop, it's quite alright. I understand. This is such advanced magic…" Professor Lupin offered us.

"No!" we both quickly said, shoving the chocolate into our mouths, "I never even got a turn!"

Before Professor Lupin could denie me of my turn I was on my feet, wand at the ready. He counted down from three and released the boggart-dementor from its box. Once again the room went dark and cold. I tried to think of the happiness I had felt when we had defeated Beryl, "Expecto patronum! Expecto patronum!" I yelled in attempts to defend myself but nothing but a wisp of silver gas came from my wand tip. I begun to panic when nothing was happening and the dementor was extending its hand towards my neck. "Expecto Patronum!"

That was it, I couldn't stand it any long and my legs gave way. My body collided with the hard stone floor. For the forth time I felt my shield go up and act as a protection against the dementor. My eyes were open and I was able to sit up with the dementor standing in front of me. The dementor didn't back away with the light coming from my shield, and neither did Professor Lupin do anything about it. Actually, all he was doing was staring at the force felid that was shielding me. "Professor!" I yelled when the dementor took a step towards me, arm still extended.

Back to normal POV

Usagi's yell brought the professor back to reality and he quickly disposed of the boggart. They did two more turns each with the dementor, but nothing seemed to be improving for either of them. When the end of their lesson came, Professor Lupin asked Usagi to stay behind again. "But-uh ok…" She sighed. She had been meaning to talk to Harry now, about his cloak and Ron's rat, which Takara had reminded her of.

"Did you want me to wait, Usagi?" Harry asked, noticing the blonde had been looking at him almost as though she wanted something.

Usagi smiled, "Yes, if you don't mind. I actually need to talk to you about something."

"We should only be a few minutes." Lupin explained to Harry. He nodded and closed the door behind him, leaving the Professor and Slytherin to talk in private. "Usagi, I need to ask a favour of you. I need you to give me your word- if you see or speak to your father; you'll tell someone- me, Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape- anyone. Can you promise me that?"

Usagi paused, and though what the professor was saying through before shaking her head. "I'm sorry, Professor. But I can't give you my word. I wouldn't be able to break a promise like that. I'm very sorry."

"Don't you understand, Usagi? Don't you know what he wants to do? Kill Harry, hand you over to the dark lord, and most of all wants to bring his master back to full power. Do you really wish for this to happen?" He paused, looking her straight in the eye with a pleading look, "I know it's hard for you, but it's for the best of everyone."

"Okay…I promise." She lied and crossed her fingers behind her back. She knew it was childish, and she knew muggles did it, but she couldn't help herself. "I guess your right. I'll tell someone if I ever see him." She hated saying this, and she hated lying. But she was doing it for the best of her father. Professor Lupin was already getting suspious by the looks of things, and it would be best to promise him this to get him off her case.

Professor Lupin smiled, "There you go. Thank you. You're free to leave now." Usagi quickly left the room with a little less than a smile on her face.

Harry had been waiting for her just outside the door leaning on the wall patiently, "That wasn't very long." He commented as they started to slowly walk down the hall.

Smiling mysteriously she answered, "It could have been, had I not co-operated"

Harry had the urge to ask her what that meant, but found the chances of her telling him were below zero. "Anyway, you wanted something?"

"Two things actually…" She said looking at the ground, "Ron, he has a rat doesn't he? Named Pettigrew? Peter? Something along those lines?"

Usagi brought her gaze up to meet the Emerald green eye's of Harry. He just blinked at her a few times, "Pettigrew? Peter? Are you feeling alright?" Harry asked uncertainly and put his hand to her forehead to check for a temperature.

"I'm fine," she snapped, "Then what's the rat's name?"

"Ron had a rat, his name was Scabbers…but that was before Hermione's cat ate him." Harry said slowly, "Why the sudden interest in Ron's pet?"

"Scabbers…" Usagi repeated, No reason…secondly could I burrow your invisibility cloak one night soon?"

Harry blinked once more, "What do you need it for- how'd you find out about it?"

Usagi shrugged, "Uh, Takara says she's seen you with it. Guess you got to be a bit more careful when you're using stuff…never know when she can be lurking around the next corner."

"That's right!" A voice that sounded only too much like Takara's sounded from behind a corner and she jumped out from behind it to meet the two.

"See what I mean?" Usagi sighed, "What are you doing here?"

Takara shrugged, "I was bored, and you were taking such a long time… I decided I'd come and see what you were up to. Problem?"

Smiling Usagi shook her head, "Nope. Anyway, so can I please just burrow the cloak for one night?" Usagi asked hopefully.

"Yeah, I guess you can. But what do you want it for?" Harry asked suspiously

Both girls exchanged looks, "Just some fun I guess…" Usagi answered slowly, "I mean think about all the fun we could have with it."

"Yeah…just a bit of fun in…end of Christmas holiday spirits…" Takara laughed, "Come on, you can't say you don't sometimes use it for fun…"

Harry thought, "I don't really use it that often for fun…maybe a few times when I got it in first year. But I guess you can…when did you say you wanted it?"

Usagi looked over to Takara, smiling, "Thank you! When do we want it?" She shrugged, "Sometime this week should be good."

The three departed shortly after, with Harry continuing to go up the stairs to the Gryffindor tower, and Usagi and Takara heading down to the Slytherin dungeons. "Do you know how much lying I have done in the past two hours?" Usagi sighed.

"As much lying as I do in thirty minutes?" Takara said innocently.

Usagi nodded with a smirk, "Yeah…something like that I guess."

Takara smirked too, "Hey, you know what you forgot? You promised to teach me to use that what's-a-ma-call-it pocket on Christmas."

"Sub-Space pocket"

"Whatever…you can teach me tonight!" Takara said excitedly and all Usagi did in response was sigh heavily.
